The controversy over an alleged affair between adult film star Stormy Daniels and US President Donald Trump has provided a deluge of troublesome headlines for the White House.

Ms Daniels is suing the president to get out of a so-called "hush agreement" before the 2016 election - the focus being a payment of $130,000 (£96,000) given to her by Mr Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, in exchange for her silence.

But Mr Trump and his legal team have made apparently contradictory statements about the payment, raising questions about how much the president knew about it.

So from denials to confessions - here's what the key players have said about the saga so far.
